WOMEN WHO ARE ATHLETES.
Circus Performers Taught the Art at an
 Iptown GNmnasium.

Many people have long been at loss tG know where the lady athletes learn the art by which they earn A livelihood and by whom they are taught X professor has private gymnasium in an uptown street at which many of the queens of the air are instructed in the art of hanging by their toes and going through various other acts well known tO the frequenters of the cir GUS and the variety theatre. A reporter had a long talk with this professor and was told how these athletes are taught. When the reporter entered the studio he found the professor instructing two young ladies in trapeZe maneuvers. The visitor was invited into a private room, as it Is against the rules for any one tO be present while pupils are taking lessons The rooms were decorated with photographs of the shining lights of the profession, whom the professor had fitted for the business After the lesson was over the professor took the scribe through the different apart ments.
 Il suppose a person must be very young and supple at the start to make any thing like good acrobat"
 That's where you are entirely wrong sir. Any woman can become a goOd per former after a proper course of training, if she be but healthy and not too stout. It IS all mechanical and can be acquired only by constant practice. have ladies come to me who nre anything but graceful, and by following my advice and suggestiola closely they have become first class per formers and are now earning good sal aries. Many fail because they can't stand the hardship inseparable from the first few days practice. After the initial lesson they invariably decline to take the rest of the course. Nine persons out of every ten give it up after the first lesson. If they would only keep on the pain would gradually disappear and they would be all right and never be similarly troubled again.
 What Is the frst lesson you give,"
 "The first lesson l give is tO get my mOney-my retainer, as 1t were. That is also the first lesson they give me. Then they are ready for the first lesson, which consists of hanging by the hands and swinging to and fro across the room, which have them do in order to satisfy myself of their strength. They generally swing across twice and fall upon feather bed. The next figure is tO hang by the hands from the bar. After they have gone so far they take hold of the ropes and slide up into a sitting position. After few moments rest make them get down by reversing the motion
 When l have progressed thus far teach them to hang by their knees This Is not quite so difficult as the previous lesson. After they have gone through this motion several times they feel like going home, When a woman has gone as far as this without complaining much, it Is pretty safe to say she will succeed in the profession she has chosen. Most of them think every muscle in the body has been severed. have had pupils come Co me after an absence of a week and tell me they felt the bars across their backs New York Mail and Express.

Up to the present the population 1f Southern Arizona, numbering In tAe neigh borhOod Of 25 0OO. have been nCn- producers, depending for breadstuiis. vegetables and fruits, exclusively upon California. Their attention, m all .ht s- past years has been directed, m 'ne main to mining and stock raIsilg. ACrI- culture has been RltOgetEe- ne sisctet. and therefore the agricultural capabll- ties of this portion O; tbe territory has been unknown, and because of the coa- tnued importation Of suppEgs For all these people. the impression has taken possession of the outside world that Southern AriZops is utterly worth .czs as An agricultural country. Precisely the same state of affairs existed ln Southern California only a few years ago, the attention ,f its spsTse pcFula tiOn being devoted tO stock. aud tte same opinion of iis value as an aErlcul- tural district was entertained. It's te marksbly rapid development has dem OnstrRted the marvellous feEtilliy oi its soil and proved that its former uuiuvlt- ing aspect was deceiving and the often expressed ideas concerning its capnbl.l- ties and lts future, were egrrgiously erroneous, A new order Of things is now beginning to set ID m Southern Arizona.

Col Parker, of The Boston Gazette, speaks most wisely when he advocates that on all ocean steamers should be a suitable air tight room under the charge of the ships surgeon. where the bodies of passen- gers dying during the voyage could be properly cared for. The brutal cOnsign- meut of a dear one to the sea ought tO be- come at least a matter of option with friends And steamship companies continues Col Parker, should be com pelled for the sake of humanity, if for no other reason, to make some such provision as this New York Graphic
